Thanksgiving Recipe Round Up

I am so looking forward to Thanksgiving. I love getting together with my brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, grandparents. parents and cousins. Unfortunately because of the traveling distance that doesn't happen often enough.

Thanksgiving is a big event for my family. My mom has 10 brothers and sisters so as you can imagine when we get together with all of them or even a portion of them, it is a full house. As none of my aunts and uncles have a house big enough to host that many people, for years we have rented the senior citizens center or met at the local church to enjoy our feast.

One of my aunts and uncle purchased a store a few years back, the Soup Town Cafe, so now that is where we all congregate for Thanksgiving. There is plenty of space to fit us all, barely. We are a big crowd. Family and neighbors all join in for the feast with each bringing a dish to share. Some dishes are great, some not so great like the pickled asparagus last year.

Once we have all had our fill, my aunt turns on the open sign for business. As Soup Town Cafe is between Zion and Bryce Canyons, there are still plenty of tourists traveling through this time of year. Most are foreign and have no idea why all the shops are closed. We have had foreigners from Norway, Sweden, and other countries stop in and enjoy a Thanksgiving meal. Most are surprised that they are getting a meal for free. It is fun to see how these people react and to be able to serve them when there is no where else opened.

On to the recipes, these are all that I have posted in the past but they are great family favorites. Hopefully you find a few you want to try this Thanksgiving.
